Farmers have to work really hard in the fields. But what will happen if they are sick and not able to work before they can get a harvest (收成) in? Greg Bishop is a farmer who is fighting a serious disease and needs all the help he can get to harvest his crops (庄稼).
But thankfully, other local farmers who live in the loving west Texas community have been lending him a helping hand with his cotton crops while he is in trouble. His crops cover 1,200 acres in Floyd County, but because of his poor health, Bishop can't do hard work in the fields.
Aaron Hendricks general manager of Floydada Co-Op Gins, has known Bishop for the last 25 years. He has seen 35 to 40 people come in to his office to help Bishop during this difficult time. Hendricks said that the farmers willingly came to help him by preparing machines and watching Bishop's farm to keep track of when the cotton would be ready to be harvested. When harvest time came, his farmer neighbors brought machines worth $ 12 million to Bishop's farm, and they started harvesting his cotton fields by 3 p.m. on the very same day.
People even came from long distances to help Bishop out, who was moved by these acts of kindness from the community. He thanked everyone who helped him out, but nobody felt the need for any thanks as they were already thankful for all Bishop had done for the community and just wanted to help him out.
They haven't stopped there either and have even started a fundraiser (募捐活动) to help Bishop stay in Dallas for the medical treatment he needs. He also needs to travel to Baylor for 100 days for a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and many people in the community say they are ready to see if their bone marrow is a good match.
4. What difficulty did Bishop have with his farm?
A. He saw his cotton crops fail. B. He had too many crops to get in.
C. He couldn't afford farm workers. D. He was too weak to do heavy work.
5. What did Bishop's farmer neighbors do to help him?
A. They got in his crops. B. They gave him some crops.
C. They took turns to look after him. D. They lent him their farming machines.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Bishop?
A. Cool-headed. B. Warm-hearted.
C. Open-minded. D. Strong-willed.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Hard Work Pays B. Never Ever Give Up
C. A Harvest of Friends D. A Man of His Word

Road-traffic noise significantly slows the development of memory and attention skills in primary school children, research has found.
The study of almost 2,700 children aged between 7 and 10 in 38 schools in Barcelona, Spain, is the first to assess the influence of traffic noise on child cognitive development over time and to determine the influence of peaks in noise.
The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skills, which are important to learning. The research found that children exposed(暴露)to about three times more traffic in the street than other pupils had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.
Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution. It was already known that noise would increase heart attacks and diabetes in adults. The UN said in February that urban noise pollution was growing into a “global public health problem”, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone, and affecting many cities from Bangkok to New York.
But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. The scientists said many schools suffered noise pollution and that measures such as rerouting(改道)traffic away from schools could help reduce noise and air pollution.
The research showed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks or vehicles going faster away from traffic lights, had more impact than a higher average(平均的)level of noise. This may be because the peaks divert(转移)attention more, said Foraster.
Prof Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has suggestions for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”
8. What is special about the study?
A. The method of the study is advanced and scientific.
B. The subject of the study is from different countries.
C. The result of the study is unexpected and surpising.
D. The content of the study is about the effect of traffic noise on children.
9. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The different forms of pollution. B. The present situation of European cities.
C. The most damaging environmental factor. D. The influence of noise on people’s health.
10. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph?
A. Related studies to find more convincing evidence.
B. Possible policies to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.
C. How to improve school conditions to protect children’s health.
D. Health conditions of many European children living in the countryside.
11. Where can you read the text probably?
A. In a dairy. B. In a textbook.
C. In a guide book. D. In a science magazine.
D
Humans and horses have enjoyed strong working relationships for nearly 10,000 years. Can these age-old relationships teach us something about building robots? Researchers at the University of Florida carried out research and said yes. “As we work to improve how humans communicate with robots, I thought why not learn from our partnership with horses to help solve the problem of natural interaction (互动) between humans and robots?” said Eakta Jain, an associate professor of computer and information science and engineering.
Looking at our history with animals to help shape our future with robots is nothing new. But Jain and her colleagues are the first to bring together engineering and robot researchers and horse experts and trainers to do on-the ground field studies with the animals.
Jain first reached out to Joel McQuagge, who managed the UF Horse Teaching Unit. He provided Jain with full access, so Jain spent months observing classes. She interviewed and observed horse experts, including horse trainers and owners. Jain’s notes resulted in findings and design ideas that can be applied by robot designers.
“Some of the findings are easy to visualize (可视化), while others are not very specific,” Jain said. “For example, we learned that a horse speaks with its body. You can see its ears pointing to where something caught its attention. We could build similar types of expressions without speech in our robots, like ears that point to something visual in the car when there’s a person walking on that side of the street.”
A groundbreaking finding is the sense of respect. When a trainer works with a horse, he looks for signs of respect from the horse for its human partner. “We don’t typically think about respect in the situation of human-robot interaction,” Jain says. “Can we design behaviors similar to what the horse uses? Will that make the human more willing to work with the robot?”
12. Why does the author mention horses in the first paragraph?
A. To provide examples. B. To make comparisons.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To support his argument.
13. How did Jain carry out her research?
A. She interviewed engineers and robot designers.
B. She worked with horse experts for observations.
C. She discussed her design with robotics and horse experts.
D. She checked historical records of human-horse partnerships.
14. What lesson can robot designers draw from Jain’s notes?
A. Body language can be designed into robots.
B. Early warnings could be given if something happens.
C. Robots may hardly understand non-speech instructions.
D. Robots can perform better than horses in locating things.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Study the Influences of Robots on Horse Training
B. Improve the Interaction Between Robots and Humans
C. Explore the Relationships Between Humans and Horses
D. Build Better Robots Through the Experience with Horses

One Friday afternoon, some of my classmates planned to take a hike in a jungle (丛林), including my friends Jake and Liam. They asked me if I would like to go with them. I love outdoor activities, so I immediately agreed.
It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them in the school playground.
The jungle where we were going was far from our school. Its name is Salymbia Jungle. It took about three hours to go there by bus, but it wasn’t a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike.
There were various plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. Sadly, after hiking for about an hour, I found that my watch on my wrist was gone. I realised that my watch had fallen off. It was a gift from my grandma, and I loved it very much. Without thinking, I turned back and tried to find my watch. Since I was the last one walking in the group, nobody noticed it when I walked away.
I wasn’t worried about getting lost because I thought I could find my watch easily. However, when I finally found my watch and tried to catch up with my friends, they had gone far. I immediately realised that I was alone and lost.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The sky started to become dark and I was very worried.

Fortunately, they found me with great effort.

Farmers have to work really hard in the fields. But what will happen if they are sick and not able to work before they can get a harvest (收成) in? Greg Bishop is a farmer who is fighting a serious disease and needs all the help he can get to harvest his crops (庄稼).
But thankfully, other local farmers who live in the loving west Texas community have been lending him a helping hand with his cotton crops while he is in trouble. His crops cover 1,200 acres in Floyd County, but because of his poor health, Bishop can't do hard work in the fields.
Aaron Hendricks, general manager of Floydada Co-Op Gins, has known Bishop for the last 25 years. He has seen 35 to 40 people come in to his office to help Bishop during this difficult time.

Road-traffic noise significantly slows the development of memory and attention skills in primary school children, research has found.
The study of almost 2,700 children aged between 7 and 10 in 38 schools in Barcelona, Spain, is the first to assess the influence of traffic noise on child cognitive development over time and to determine the influence of peaks in noise.
The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skills, which are important to learning. The research found that children exposed(暴露)to about three times more traffic in the street than other pupils had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.
Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution. It was already known that noise would increase heart attacks and diabetes in adults. The UN said in February that urban noise pollution was growing into a “global public health problem”, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone, and affecting many cities from Bangkok to New York.
But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. The scientists said many schools suffered noise pollution and that measures such as rerouting(改道)traffic away from schools could help reduce noise and air pollution.
The research showed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks or vehicles going faster away from traffic lights, had more impact than a higher average(平均的)level of noise. This may be because the peaks divert(转移)attention more, said Foraster.
Prof Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has suggestions for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”
8. What is special about the study?
A. The method of the study is advanced and scientific.
B. The subject of the study is from different countries.
C. The result of the study is unexpected and surpising.
D. The content of the study is about the effect of traffic noise on children.
9. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The different forms of pollution. B. The present situation of European cities.
C. The most damaging environmental factor. D. The influence of noise on people’s health.
10. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph?
A. Related studies to find more convincing evidence.
B. Possible policies to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.
C How to improve school conditions to protect children’s health.
D. Health conditions of many European children living in the countryside.
11. Where can you read the text probably?
A. In a dairy. B. In a textbook.
C. In a guide book. D. In a science magazine.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. D

Humans and horses have enjoyed strong working relationships for nearly 10,000 years. Can these age-old relationships teach us something about building robots? Researchers at the University of Florida carried out research and said yes. “As we work to improve how humans communicate with robots, I thought why not learn from our partnership with horses to help solve the problem of natural interaction (互动) between humans and robots?” said Eakta Jain, an associate professor of computer and information science and engineering.
Looking at our history with animals to help shape our future with robots is nothing new. But Jain and her colleagues are the first to bring together engineering and robot researchers and horse experts and trainers to do on-the ground field studies with the animals.
Jain first reached out to Joel McQuagge, who managed the UF Horse Teaching Unit. He provided Jain with full access, so Jain spent months observing classes. She interviewed and observed horse experts, including horse trainers and owners. Jain’s notes resulted in findings and design ideas that can be applied by robot designers.
“Some of the findings are easy to visualize (可视化), while others are not very specific,” Jain said. “For example, we learned that a horse speaks with its body. You can see its ears pointing to where something caught its attention. We could build similar types of expressions without speech in our robots, like ears that point to something visual in the car when there’s a person walking on that side of the street.”
A groundbreaking finding is the sense of respect. When a trainer works with a horse, he looks for signs of respect from the horse for its human partner. “We don’t typically think about respect in the situation of human-robot interaction,” Jain says. “Can we design behaviors similar to what the horse uses? Will that make the human more willing to work with the robot?”
12. Why does the author mention horses in the first paragraph?
A. To provide examples. B. To make comparisons.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To support his argument.
13. How did Jain carry out her research?
A. She interviewed engineers and robot designers.
B. She worked with horse experts for observations.
C. She discussed her design with robotics and horse experts.
D. She checked historical records of human-horse partnerships.
14. What lesson can robot designers draw from Jain’s notes?
A. Body language can be designed into robots.
B. Early warnings could be given if something happens.
C. Robots may hardly understand non-speech instructions.
D. Robots can perform better than horses in locating things.
15 What can be the best title for the text?
A. Study the Influences of Robots on Horse Training
B. Improve the Interaction Between Robots and Humans
C. Explore the Relationships Between Humans and Horses
D. Build Better Robots Through the Experience with Horses
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员通过观察马与人类之间的互动关系,认为在建造机器人时可以在非语言交流和尊重等方面借鉴一些经验。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Can these age-old relationships teach us something about building robots? Researchers at the University of Florida carried out research and said yes. ‘As we work to improve how humans communicate with robots, I thought why not learn from our partnership with horses to help solve the problem of natural interaction (互动) between humans and robots?’(这些古老的关系能教会我们制造机器人的一些东西吗?佛罗里达大学的研究人员进行了研究,得出了肯定的结论。“当我们致力于改善人类与机器人的交流方式时,我想为什么不从我们与马的合作中学习,来帮助解决人类与机器人之间的自然互动问题呢?”)”可知,人类和马一直保持着牢固的关系,而研究人员设想能否把这种关系运用于制造机器人。由此可知作者在第一段中提到马是为了引出话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Jain spent months observing classes. She interviewed and observed horse experts(Jain花了几个月的时间观察课程。她采访并观察了马专家)”可知,Jain花了几个月的时间在马匹教学课上进行观察,并且她采访了马匹专家,即她与这些人合作实地开展研究,获得观测结果。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“We could build similar types of expressions without speech in our robots, like ears that point to something visual in the car when there’s a person walking on that side of the street.(我们可以让机器人在没有语言的情况下建立类似的表情,比如当有人走在街道的另一边时,它们的耳朵会指向车内的视觉物体)”可推知,可以模仿马的行为在机器人中建立类似的无语言表达,即通过肢体语言交流。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“As we work to improve how humans communicate with robots, I thought why not learn from our partnership with horses to help solve the problem of natural interaction (互动) between humans and robots?(当我们致力于改善人类与机器人的交流方式时,我想为什么不从我们与马的合作中学习,来帮助解决人类与机器人之间的自然互动问题呢?)”可知,文章主要介绍了通过观察马与人类之间的互动关系,研究人员认为在建造机器人时可以借鉴一些经验,由此可知D项“通过与马的体验打造更好的机器人”可作文章最佳标题。故选D。

考查冠词。句意:所以拥有宽容会让我们的生活变得更好,让世界变得更美好。根据句意可知,此处应该用不定冠词a修饰名词place,表泛指。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:差异是人类的精神,我们应该学会尊重它。learn作及物动词时,其后可接动词不定式作宾语,构成固定搭配learn to do sth。故填to respect。

【答案】Dear Eric,
Glad to know that you are interested in my family traditions, and I’m writing to share them with you.
In China, many families have their own family traditions. Take my family for example, the tradition of being hard-working and honest has been handed down from generation to generation. My parents gain respect from relatives and friends because they are considered reliable. Good family traditions help my family live happily with each other and everyone around us. I think our family traditions have benefited us a lot.
Can you tell me something about your family traditions?
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成篇完整的短文。
One Friday afternoon, some of my classmates planned to take a hike in a jungle (丛林), including my friends Jake and Liam. They asked me if I would like to go with them. I love outdoor activities, so I immediately agreed.
It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them in the school playground.
The jungle where we were going was far from our school. Its name is Salymbia Jungle. It took about three hours to go there by bus, but it wasn’t a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike.
There were various plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. Sadly, after hiking for about an hour, I found that my watch on my wrist was gone. I realised that my watch had fallen off. It was a gift from my grandma, and I loved it very much. Without thinking, I turned back and tried to find my watch. Since I was the last one walking in the group, nobody noticed it when I walked away.
I wasn’t worried about getting lost because I thought I could find my watch easily. However, when I finally found my watch and tried to catch up with my friends, they had gone far. I immediately realised that I was alone and lost.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The sky started to become dark and I was very worried. I didn’t know what to do. I called out to my friends, but there was no reply. I tried to look for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes and I got tired and hungry. I felt frightened. Finally, I gave up and took a rest. As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice. It was unbelievable, and then I heard someone else. I screamed, “Help!”
Fortunately, they found me with great effort. My friends Jake and Liam told the guide that they found I was lost, and finally some rescuers were called to help. They led me back to the bus. Seeing me, my friends told me they were really worried. I apologized to them for leaving the group without telling them. Instead of feeling angry with me, they comforted me and helped me calm down to learn a good lesson from it. And I truly learned a good lesson from it—never leave your group members when you’re in a new place.
